May 24--St. Croix -- From 9 am to 4 pm, electrical service will be interrupted to approximately 149 customers in Estate Richmond, on St. Croix’s Feeder 1A. The service interruption will allow WAPA’s contractor Haugland Energy to upgrade the current wiring in the Estate Richmond area. Also, approximately 30 customers in the Estate Seven Hills area of St. Croix will experience an electrical service interruption through 6 pm today. WAPA is working to replace four downed utility poles following an incident earlier today.

Every effort will be made to energize as many of these areas as completely as possible on Tuesday.

Water customers are reminded to boil potable water intended for drinking until further notice.

The public is reminded not to touch power lines on the ground or dangling from utility poles.

WAPA continues to have limited telephone lines due to a damaged telephone cable leading into the Richmond Plant. Customers can call the emergency call center at 713-9272, 773-0150 or 773-2250 and press 5 for the call center or zero (0) for the operator.
